Review of Diploma in Nautical Science course at IMI.
Placements: The institute is now owned by owners of Fleet Management, so placements are pretty much 100% at this point. By the end of the course, all students got placed in our batch. Some are already sponsored and some got it afterwards. Students mostly are from M.Sc and Fleet courses here.
Infrastructure: It is a small but clean and cozy hostel with good Wi-Fi and AC. Regular cleaning takes place. The only downside is the AC. It has a clean mess with good food. The market is nearby. The nearest metro is 5 minutes away (20 minutes by walk). It has pretty decent football, volleyball, and tennis grounds.
Faculty: Teachers are mostly ex-captains and some are even sailing captains who are highly knowledgeable. Exams are of decent difficulty and they teach everything as per the syllabus. The seamanship instructors or the wardens are on a bit of the other side in terms of communication but it's still manageable.
Other: Overall, it is a good choice for Maritime training. It has good food, good infrastructure, and good faculty members.

This college is okay to survive in, but it's not a very good option.
Placements: Students in my batch were sent for their interview to one of the companies, but the company hasn't responded to them yet. The top companies like M.Sc. Fleet, Demico, Wallem come every year to pick their candidates. Almost 98% of students get selected in M.Sc. Fleet, Demico, Dockendale, Wallem, and many more as cadets.
Infrastructure: The hostel is quite well-maintained. Washrooms are cleaned every day, and cleanliness is maintained, which is quite impressive. There is a small ground for playing football, and good courts for volleyball and badminton. The mess is also quite well.
Faculty: Teachers here are all good and knowledgeable, and the teaching quality is good. Talking about semester exams, this college provides better practice and helps us prepare for the final IMU exams. 50% is the minimum marks to pass this DNS course. The academic block is quite small but fine.

It is one of the best decision to take admission here. It has good location in heart of the city.

The placement rate of my college is 100%. Almost every student 98% is pre-sponsored by the world's top shipping companies such as D'amico, feet management, wallem shipping, M.Sc. PIL, MMSI, and many more. Students are recruited as deck cadets for almost 18 months of sea training.
Infrastructure: The facilities provided for our course are top notch. There is an aviation lab, bridge simulator, seamanship lab, and the only ship on campus (a replica of a real ship) in North India, to give real-time experience to the cadets. The hostel facilities are also good with a Wi-Fi speed of 200 Mbps. It has a capacity of about 250 students. Rooms are well-furnished with beds and almirahs. The food quality is also very good prepared by qualified chefs. You get both veg and non-veg food with a mess capacity of 200 people at a time.
Faculty: Our faculty members are well-qualified. Most of them are retired captains of the merchant navy, also we have faculty who have served in the Indian navy as captains, and commanders. They are knowledgeable. The course or the study material provided is curriculum relevant helping the students to become industry ready. Semester exams of the college are average and the pass percentage is 50%.

True Review of IMI by ex student .
Placements: Good thing is that in dns course, we first get placed in a reputed company, then our course starts. All the students were placed in a good company. The maximum package was around 8.4 LPA and the minimum was 3 LPA with average of around 5.4 LPA. Top recruiting company was M.Sc. Feet Management, Wallem Ship Management All students will get a chance to do internship in above mentioned companies .
Infrastructure: We have a 24-hour Wi-Fi connection in our cabins, and the classroom is large enough for each batch of 40 students, with whiteboards and projectors. The physics lab, seamanship lab, computer lab, and workshop LAN are also available. The hostel is up to the mark; we have study tables, chairs, study lamps, fans, AC, almirahs, and beds. The food is also good. Delicious food is available for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. A doctor comes every day (except Sunday) in the morning until 9:00 a.m. There is almost every sport to play.
Faculty: The faculty was experienced, and they had provided everything relevant to our course of Diploma in Nautical Science. Even after the completion of our course, we can connect ourselves to them if we face any difficulties in the future. There were different teachers for different subjects, and there were fixed hours of teaching for every teacher so as not to create an excessive burden on teachers.
Other: The best thing about our course is that we get to learn a lot, and there are lots of jobs after completion of our cadetship. In this course, we get to learn about meteorology, firefighting, stars, the moon, the sun, river oceans, and more. Which is quite interesting.
